Train op referendum concludes with 'yes' vote

RATES OF PAY & CONDITIONS OF SERVICE 2015 AND NIGHT TUBE – LONDON UNDERGROUND (LUL/0001)
 
Further to my previous Circular (IR/256/15, 22nd October 2015), where I informed you that the Union would be conducting a referendum amongst our Train Operator and Instructor Operator members over discussions regarding trial arrangements for a 36 hour 4 day week at two depots.
 
The referendum has now concluded with Train Operator and Instructor Operator members voting ‘YES’ for RMT to discuss trial arrangements for volunteers and this matter has been considered by the General Grades Committee, which has reiterated that this does not imply acceptance of any proposals or amendments to any frameworks or parameters. What this result means is that further discussions around the arrangements for a possible 36 hour 4 day week voluntary trial at 2 locations can take place. Any changes would have to be agreed by both RMT and our sister union before implementation.
 
I am currently making arrangements for a meeting of all RMT Train Operator Representatives to discuss the ‘4 day week’ and I will of course keep you advised of all further developments.
